Let's make it the year we'll blow everybody's mind, I am ready to give it my all and need you by my side.

Posted on Tuesday 1st

This is the plan...

On Sunday September 24th, I will join once again a bunch of lovely ladies and gents, all dressed up, for a ride in New York City: The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride.

I know you are going to argue that I never needed anyone's help to get on the road before but here's the twist, it is a fundraising charity ride. That Sunday I will ride to fund prostate cancer research as well as advocating men's health through the Movember Foundation.

Now that the charitable purpose is out in the open, calling to all your good hearts and wallets, I would like also to get you on my team as this is a fundraising competition. Nothing like the sweet taste of victory, especially when you get to beat a few people for the greater good of us all :)

Two years ago, all the people supporting me, my family, my friends and my amazing Latham & Watkins co-workers sent me to the 5th spot of the donors’ worldwide leaderboard. Last year, with over $12 000 donated we landed 4th. This year, I will be campaigning for 30 days straight, hoping we can achieve 3rd position with an insane $20 000 goal.

Prostate cancer takes every year way too many lives and so many of them could be saved with the proper screening added to an increased funding of the scientific research. You can help with both: Talk to the men in your life and family, especially those over 40 years old, do not give up, as most men usually try to avoid the subject, until they'll take action and schedule a screening or blood test.

For the rest, please go ahead, blow my mind, lend me a hand, join me. Whatever you can do will mean the world to me, I am just asking that you give it your best. This is our chance, a real opportunity to accomplish something together, let's do it!
